Hello everyone! On today’s show, I speak with Paul Larsen who served in The Texas, Houston East mission (T.H.E. Mission) from 2003 to 2005 and I think that you’ll love hearing about his experiences. And in my missionary minute, I talk about taking opportunities to teach.
So let’s get to it!
...
A big thanks to my good friend Paul Larsen. Paul is such an amazing guy and if you are wondering if he is related to Chelsea Larsen from Episode 6, well, yes, he is her husband. As I mentioned in her episode, they are just a fantastic family and we are sad to see them move out of the ward, and as I said we know they have big things ahead of them in Idaho Falls.
In today’s missionary minute, I really liked what Paul’s mission president said about taking the opportunity to teach wherever they were, even at doorsteps. I am an odd guy about some things and I kind of think that in my head things need to be done in order and by the book. So as my kids were growing up I would have ideas of things I wanted to discuss with them and think, “Well, I’ve got to talk to them about this in the next Family Home Evening.” And then someone taught me this principle about teaching wherever you are and that might not line up ideally with your FHE lesson. So maybe teach your kids while you’re doing work in the yard, or teach them as you’re driving them to school, etc. This changed how I viewed teaching moments and taught me that just like a missionary who is called to preach the gospel 24/7, as a parent, I am called to teach my kids 24/7, not just during preach my gospel or family home evening.
Well, that’s about it for today’s show.
